24 Belmont Avenue, Billinge, Wigan, WN5 7BZ

24 Belmont Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Billinge, Wigan, Wigan (WN5 7BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £175,000 sits 139.7% above the 2001 sale of £73,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 28.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
